500mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange amber with a small beige head. Nose is decadent, bringing out treacle toffee, caramel malts, and stone fruits. Flavour is quite sweet, but not quite cloying, with intense treacle toffee, candied sugar, stone fruits and alcohol. Very sweet but with lots of character. Alcoholic but not too boozy. A little sweet for me but this is well-made and an enjoyable slow sipper.

Caramelly chocolate aroma, bit weak in aroma but might be too cold. Some alcoholic notes in aroma as well. Taste starts with lots of milk chocolate finish has some of the chocolate with some balancing bitterness although a bit to bitter. Nice palate and appearance but too hoppy and not as complex as a barley wine should be.

Bottle received from a Norwegian trade with a redditor. Pours a deep waxed-teak decking mahogany red with a dense light-brown head which lingers around for a few minutes before receding to a frothy layer. Aromas are incredible - mango, peach, slight apple, toffee and caramel. Taste is caramel, toffee, malt sweetness and slight sweet red apple. Full bodied with a rich mouthfeel.

Smells of soy and barley wine. The taste is dominated by alcohol, with hints of soy, brussels sprouts and some liquorice. Vinous mouth feel, sticky like red wine. The aftertaste is very alcohol-intensive with a sour hint of soy. Beer for big boys and alcoholics.
